hello and welcome to all sea coming to you live or most. of all of us with the latest news on the week's top stories syria's armed rebels suffered a setback this week when government forces pushed them out of a key district in the commercial capital aleppo with a boss over the sitting testifying foreign powers led by the u.s. are piling more pressure on damascus bypassing the u.n. washington and turkey have set up a joint group to facilitate regime change and find a replacement for a sign they are really nice on sunday to discuss its own additional measures against the syrian government because the us and its allies have also the ante by pledging even more than two million dollars support for the rebels london being the latest a way with the international community and syria itself split into a warring count those working in public jobs and fearing for their lives asics on a boycott reports. it's a fixture in any public office in syria whether you buy

a ticket or get a driving license president assad will be watching over those working here it's not a political statement rather a sign that that company belongs to the state your design is now becoming a death mark for an increasing number of state employees. this call in the middle of the night cost here my brother. was one of syria's most experienced civil pilots u.s. educated more than twenty thousand hours around the globe he was coming home from the airport when gunmen attacked his car. radical islam. is the worst enemy of radical islam when you were rounded incapable of using your page you try to estimate what's going on. his brother a plastic surgeon also received brad's their family belongs to the alloway it's the

same religious group as assad but they were never politically active. he said the documents confirm syria's opposition has scientists and engineers don't just and civil servants only. what started as a battle against the regime now increasingly looks like a battle against the syrian state but the round a million and a half of the country's civil servants are becoming targets doctors teachers many simple workers have all been kidnapped or assassinated for simply doing their work and the government in the world where they seem aquatica not has two distinct groups of people working for a political fox whose job is to keep the ruling party in power and civil servants to make sure that streets are clean and hospitals are running and in syria regardless of that political affiliation civil servants are being targeted as assad sympathizers in damascus hospitals window blinds is permanently drawn now because

of the scorching heat for fear of snipers a local doctor was kidnapped on his way from work a few months ago his family hasn't heard from him since his colleagues are now afraid of revealing the identity of. all the syrian people are in danger children the elderly farm workers civil servants doctors and scientists there are no exceptions well over the fact that my life and the lives of other syrian people are a true makes me tremble with fear along with fears for their safety syrian civil servants also have to deal with a much higher workload many now put in sixty hour weeks but barely a day off due to inflation their salaries have devalued as have their lives so i am not surprised to hear that some groups within the free syrian army are targeting those people who are trying to make life better or orderly because at the end of the day if things get back to normal they will lose any support they will lose any

attention from the media from the international community it is in the interests of at least some factions in the opposition to make things worse for people so that those people who are in the silent majority join in the fight and around the world attacks against they don't situations carry some of the highest sentences and promptly condemned as terrorism yet in syria for the sake of ousting one man millions of lives are put on the line that's not boycott artsy dema syria. and in an hour's time middle east coast and phyllis bennis explains why escalating the miniaturize ational the conflict can only be more dangerous. if the escalation continues if the militarization continues what we will then see is that the post assad government will be led by the men with guns when the victors are those with the guns that always bodes ill for women for children for civilians syria is

not libya syria has a long history of civil society mobilization and organizations they have many things that was not possible in libya but the danger is that you will have. certain parallels certain similarities such as unaccountable militias who will not put themselves under the accountability of a new government that is a very dangerous reality and if syrian body politic explodes it will be an explosion not an implosion the danger of course is that with that growing the sectarianism growing there is the danger that it will spill over the border. the trial of the russian female punk band pussy riot has reached its final stage with the verdict expected next friday prosecutors are demanding three years jail for the women for their anti putin stunt and russia's main cathedral back and said very. nice following the case. over the past few days we've heard from the

a controversy that some catholic church groups were calling for her to be excommunicated was also condemned by the vatican and is also being politicians from . great britain germany and the united states that have been giving their support for the women but it remains a hugely divisive case. here in russia with some people saying that the women are modern day saints almost building them up to huge levels of. social standing saying what they are doing is right for russia and others mostly linked to the orthodox church suggesting that these women are essentially the anti christ that we all have to wait until the seventeenth of august at three pm moscow time when the judge in the courtroom just behind me will deliver the. this is darcy and in a few minutes the american firm let off or on smart play the notorious security contractor the cheese to be black water is allowed to pay its way out of the prosecution of propriety into illegal weapons.

house it looked kind of like an eight story and hill shocked by what they found the authorities began taking the kids outside in order to take them to doctors most of them are still being examined while their parents demand they be left alone. the children are terrified and after everything that's happened they're afraid of what can be done to them despite being in need of urgent medical help some of the adults had to be talked into allowing doctors to see them. one woman had a miscarriage so a doctor had to treat her right there at the scene it took a lot of effort to convince her she needed his help with the. actors around twenty years or its founder is eighty five year old for that among us. he proclaimed himself a prophet almost fifty years ago and is now to weaken to get out of bed his followers believe only in the koran and rejecting all other religions and even movements within islam the police found them while investigating a recent terror attack in the city they also found around

a thousand religious books and texts which are now being examined for possible extremist content but sect members appear to be defiant about their way of the way but actually what you are fighting against ally himself the authorities have already opened several criminal cases involving senior members of the sect and the feet of the children is yet to be decided plans are also being drawn up to rehearse sect members who are allowed to film inside neither did any of the groups or members agreed to speak with us on camera but off camera the man that i spoke with said that around forty people remain on their territory they do expect the authorities to try to take everything down but he claims that they are going to resist even if they bring a court order since they don't recognize their own neither do they recognize the authority of muslim leaders or do they recognize the existence of the state or any country altogether. you go to school of.

their religion as they see it and responsible decision makers in egypt should be trying to increase cooperation with israel in order to ensure that these kind of homicide terrorists are not able to carry out their plans so very abscesses even an opportunity to. get countries closer together the islamists and especially the jihad these that we're talking about now have been for years. and now what they're doing is taking advantage of the fact that there is an unstable situation in egypt but if you just lift the lid as we've seen now across the region egypt syria and all the other countries north africa and what we're going to see is chaos and that is what we're seeing unfortunately. still to come here and i'll see why sanctions won't stop iranians grabbing for gotcha's a way down by the ball goes left right and center get they're still getting the hands on trying to american high tack group or some an apple selling store in

that's me rolling out this summer all eyes have been in london which is probably how is tingling pics with a success of the games in mind if you remember that exactly a year ago the city was ravaged by moss treat violence and looting he's the worst mess looks back at the riots and percussions. roy it's saying looting disorder these were the explosive scenes on the streets in towns and cities in england last august shops and warehouses attacked and torched by out of control youths and adults. unlike a situation the police took days to bring under control a year on and on the surface all is well damaged buildings have been rebuilt all boarded up and people are going about their business again but there are little

deeper and areas like here in top no where the riots started are still troubled and the underlying issues which caused the riots remain unresolved tottenham's and peace as his community pulled together in the aftermath but it mitt trouble could break.

it was coming hopefully it won't but it will be ready to address the work situation and the kicking people off for the benefit of well big money big time back on the board so i'm going to happen again quite the same way but i don't think anything's been addressed now it's very well for these people the fuse is still a light the fear is when and what will trigger the next explosion in neighborhoods laura smith london and also plenty for you to discover online now at auntie dot com including a quest to impress the russian social network junkies going to extremes to improve

of agreements aren't entered into unless the government thinks dismissal that is non-prosecution is a probable outcome so obviously blackwater there's got to be delighted with this one thing that comes out these papers is that a lot of this is being done and a very very close relationship with the united states remember blackwater is a principal contractor for the department of state and it appears in many of these dealings and department of state is opening the door for quark water we have comparable incidents in many many other countries so they are basically. soldiers of fortune out there for hire and they're operating principle seems to be shoot first ask questions later. a quick update now some of today's world news a rescue operation is underway in northwest iran up to two strong earthquakes a raised villages to the ground killing two hundred fifty people and injuring another two thousand more but with quakes happen near the city of tabriz residents

capital of tehran where apple along with many of the u.s. products abandoned the functions that had been in place in the years but it seems that tech savvy are rainy and so managing to outsmart this u.s. embargo and products like these not only popular in toronto they're widely available as well just like any other apple next door this one in tiran is bustling and busy. i have no difficulty in importing electronics from the us nor do we feel any impact on imports from sanctions doesn't come so easy indeed is getting technical support and updates for the products but we still manage to get them all the time. the circus of u.s. sanctions has been mainly on iran's banks and oil industry in a bid to curb the country's nuclear ambitions but when it comes to the bans on consumer products alternative trade routes and enterprising iranian tradesmen have meant that in forcing the sanctions has proved virtually impossible in fact it's
